Improvement of lung preservation - From experiment to clinical practice [PDF]
Background. Reperfusion injury represents a severe early complication following lung transplantation. Among the pathogenetic factors, the high potassium content of Euro-Collins(R) solution is discussed.

Nematic-Isotropic Spinodal Decomposition Kinetics of Rod-like Viruses [PDF]
We investigate spinodal decomposition kinetics of an initially nematic dispersion of rod-like viruses (fd virus). Quench experiments are performed from a flow-stabilized homogeneous nematic state at high shear rate into the two-phase isotropic-nematic ...

Corneal cross-linking (CXL) has become the most common way of managing keratectasia. To date, the Dresden protocol (G. Wollensak et al., 2003) has acquired many modifications, in which the composition of the applied agents or modes of CXL procedure have ...

A pulsed photoacoustic technique for studying red blood cell sedimentation
This study shows the capability of a pulsed photoacoustic (PA) technique to measure red blood cell sedimentation and aggregation processes in vitro. Red blood cells are the main source of absorption in blood. The PA signal is proportional to the sample’s

Regulatory effects of blood constituents on the function and metabolism of the cat brain in perfusion ezperiments. Brain perfusion with artificial blood containing low molecular dextran and amino acids [PDF]
As a link in a series of studies on the effects of blood constituents on the brain function by means of brain perfusion, we used four kinds of artificial blood; namely, the blood containing a low molecular dextran, one containing glutamic acid, one ...

Influence of Different Polymer Types on the Overall Release Mechanism in Hydrophilic Matrix Tablets
The effect of three different types of polymer chain structures on the polymer release from hydrophilic matrix tablets was investigated by comparing a synthetic semi-crystalline linear polymer (PEO), a branched amorphous polysaccharide (dextran) and an ...

Characterizing anomalous diffusion in crowded polymer solutions and gels over five decades in time with variable-lengthscale fluorescence correlation spectroscopy [PDF]
The diffusion of macromolecules in cells and in complex fluids is often found to deviate from simple Fickian diffusion. One explanation offered for this behavior is that molecular crowding renders diffusion anomalous, where the mean-squared displacement ...
